She ably conveyed the change between the young Eva Duarte to the poised Eva Peron, keeping the audience's sympathies. At times a difficult task as Eva Peron was manipulative and self serving. Seamus Cullen was a charismatic Che (but please why did they get him to sing in a falsetto which he clearly couldn't handle?) however I found Mark Heenehan's Peron a little distant and found it difficult to gain any feeling for the character. For me though the surprise in the middle was the beautiful and emotional performance by Nikki Mae as the Mistress. A great set, excellent ensemble and good direction bought the show together. As a long time lover of the musical Evita (I remember buying the original soundtrack before the musical was even opened in London) this was a production well worth watching.

Louise Dearman is fantastic as Eva Peron, and she performed the show stopping number, 'Don't cry for me Argentina' wonderfully, it really was very moving. She was perfectly complemented by a wonderful performance by Seamus Cullen in the role of Che. I liked the way that he played to the audience and his voice was superb. The rest of the cast were all excellent. The set was very impressive, and I must say I thought that the sound levels were brilliant, as occasionally things can be too loud or the microphones too quiet etc, but it was spot on. Overall, I think that this is a powerful and must-see musical, so thanks 'Whatsonstage' for the tickets!
